Elijah is back in his room and it seems like the surgery went well. We haven't been able to talk to the doctors, but our nurse assures us that all went as planned. He is intubated again and has yet another chest tube. He seems to be in pain. I hate seeing him try to cry while being intubated. No sound comes out. Nothing. Just the the facial expression. It's awful. He does seem to be breathing better and much slower. He is more peaceful when his breathing is calmer. I believe the plan is to leave him intubated overnight and reassess in the morning.
On another note, we have had some really great nurses that genuinely care about our son and us. Some who have comforted us as we have cried. I am very grateful.
